Coffelake Thread : Rumors, and Specs

[18436572]

For those who didn't see this:

Cannonlake was leaked in an Intel patent application and Coffee Lake appears to be a 14nm variant. Since they're a 3D stack of chips, it is unlikely that they'll be retaining the same socket.

The desktop chip won't be using this funky modular approach.
BenchLife already leaked Coffee Lake die size*, it is a monolithic chip as usual. And I think it will keep the socket - remember, it is replacing the usual tick, Intel will switch sockets the year after that, with tock (aka "architecture" now).

*BenchLife.info (the guy used to be behind the good leaks at VR-Zone Chinese) is the source I believe probably the most, for CPU stuff.

It also won't come with integrated voltage regulators unlike Cannonlake. A new socket doesn't make sense because Icelake would require another socket change a year later.
